Impressed by the @efsa.europa.eu building, meeting facilities, thought about architectural detail (incl. placing outdoor work stations where building’s midday shadow is). Happy people in good ergonomic setup work better! EU🇪🇺funds well spent on supporting efficiency (x sun, food, and coffee via 🇮🇹)

🎨 New research reveals that New Zealand's truffle-like fungi (TLF) are uniquely vibrant compared to their global counterparts. 🍄

While most TLF are dull-coloured, many NZ species are vibrant and grow above ground, 🌈 suggesting adaptations for bird-mediated dispersal.🐦

Amazed that on-demand nature of mail (and that reading in control of recipient) manages to escape understanding. I've heard concerns about late hours, weekend emails and I wonder if folk also meet postmen in person... Next level - an email which closes for weekend! Who unionized email?🤦‍♂️
